Our Environmental Policy is to leave no footprint from our activities and provide accurate interpretation of the National Parks during our tours. At a minimum, our aims and objectives are to:

We aim to have all our guests educated about the importance of rainforest ecosystems and their vulnerability from the impacts of changing climates, rising sea levels, pollution, deforestation, poaching and other human influences.
